Definitions

  • each sprayer 13 may limit an amount of nutrients supplied to the taproot 101 in addition to limiting the amount of spray of the liquid 13 a.
  • a liquid 31 a is introduced into the water tank 30 from the liquid introducing passage 31 .
  • the water tank 30 stores a liquid 110 in a way that an amount of liquid 110 stored in the water tank 30 is larger than an amount of liquid 110 in which the lateral roots 102 extending from the taproot 101 are soaked. Furthermore, the amount of liquid 110 in the water tank 30 is adjusted in a way that the surface of the liquid used to feed the lateral roots 102 is located under the lower end of the taproot 101 .
  • the lateral root feeding portion may have the configuration in which the surface of the liquid in the water tank 30 is located right under the lower end of the taproot 101 .
  • the lateral root feeding portion may perform a type of hydroponics in which the lateral root feeding portion makes the liquid 110 flow in a thin stream (in small amounts) down along a flat surface of a gentle inclination.
  • This type of hydroponics is termed as nutrient film technique (NFT).
  • NFT nutrient film technique
  • controller 3 may control a cycle and a length of time of light emission from the light source 2 .
